Opponents of abortion have claimed that the press has exaggerated the danger. Yet two recent lawsuits have made clear that this harm is very real. Efforts to preserve women’s health are being resisted, with some success, even in cases where the fetus is doomed. The Supreme Court indicated in *Dob... read more

Hierarchy comes to shorten the days of tribulation for all who have caught the vision of the goal. Straight as the arrow flies so is the soul shot from the bow of the Eternal Archer. Passing through the planes of Mater with the momentum and thrust of the great arm of Life, the soul reaches the mark of love and transcends all lesser images of selfhood. The arrow hits the zero in the center of being–zero ego, zero self-awareness apart from God. Here individuality is forever defined as an arrow aflame, so pining for the real Image as to become a magnet magnetizing the energies of the G... read more

No, the point of vague and threatening rules like these is to scare teachers and chill discourse and especially spook conflict-averse school leaders into backing away from all such content, as well as continue reinforcing the choicer talking point that publi... read more

The high cost of BidenismJeb Babbin: You say you never wanted a college degree in gender studies or feminist history because they don’t lead to any employable credentials? What about the masters degree in “Happiness Studies” offered by Centenary University in New Jersey? Too bad, because you’re going to pay for them and a lot more with your tax dollars thanks to Biden’s college loan “forgiveness" program. Biden’s new program, which the White House said it doesn’t know now much it will cost, will cost anywhere from $300 billion to $900 billion. If you add the cost of the college loan “forgiveness” program... read more

Sunday morning musicToday our musical entertainment is as much visual as auditory - and, in one case, very funny. The musical "Riverdance" was initially the brainchild of Moya Doherty, Executive Producer of the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest final in Dublin, Ireland. She commissioned the titular piece to be performed during the interval of that show. It ran for just seven minutes, but electrified the audience, who gave it a standing ovation. That was enough inspiration to develop it into a full stage show, which launched just nine months later. Since then, it's been performed all over the world,... read more
